It's Time for the (2nd) Annual Readers' Recs

It's been a little over a year since we had our 1st Readers' Recs. These are what you would expect them to be - recommendations of our readers' favorite books. So why are we doing it again, you might ask? There are 3 reasons:

1. We have new followers since September of 2015. Maybe they would like to give us some of their favorite books of all-time.
2. There are possibly a few readers that were followers back in September 2015 who simply were too busy to recommend (why else would they have not done it?) and have just been champing at the bit to have another go.
3. And maybe some of those who WERE followers and DID recommend books last September have come up with some new recs.

So, here is what I wrote on 9/9/15:

You know, we all like to get book recommendations. I know I do. Many of my favorites have come via recs from friends and social media connections. So what I would like to do is come up with a list of great recommendations for everybody. If you feel up to it (aka if you care), can you give us your top 3 books all-time? Let's see what we can put out there. Take a week and either list them on this blog post or email me directly at lloydrrussell@gmail.com. And although I'm sure you've seen my top 3 before, here they are again:Pillars of the Earth - Ken FollettThe Source - James MichenerShogun - James ClavellAnd P.S. If you want to give us 1, 2, 4, or 5, feel free.
The list below, not surprisingly, is what we all came up with last year. Let's see what we get this time.
